This year, we’re shaking things up with an exciting new format for our annual contest! SFS students are encouraged to showcase their creative talent in three different contests. The winner of each category will receive a $250 visa gift card and SFS swag. 

This is your chance to let your creativity shine! Below is all the information you need to enter.

Capture the essence of your experience with a photo! Whether it’s the vibrant local community, unique flora and fauna, the thrill of fieldwork, or breathtaking landscapes, we want to see it all. 

Bring your adventures to life with a video. Create a dynamic montage of your fieldwork, a heartfelt interview with locals, or share a snapshot of the landscapes you explored. Use your creativity to tell a story that highlights the most exciting, inspiring, and memorable moments of your experience!

Unleash your creativity with a sticker representative of your time abroad! Whether you specialize in digital art, hand-drawn sketches, or mixed media, this is your chance to create a memorable sticker that captures the essence of your study abroad adventure.
